Picante
About
Picante, on Corfu, sits in Benitses 490 84, Greece, a village on the island's eastern coast. First-time visitors can expect a bar setting with a straightforward welcome and a crowd that builds through the evening. A score of 4.7 out of 5 from 378 reviewers places it among the more popular spots on this part of Corfu.
That feedback has accumulated steadily, which suggests the bar draws repeat custom as well as holiday trade. Benitses sits south of Corfu Town and is reachable from Kerkira, Ipsos, Dassia, Gouvia and Kavos, making it a practical stop between the capital and the southern resorts. Paleokastritsa and Sidari lie further afield on the island's west and north coasts.
The bar keeps late hours, so it operates through the evening and into the early morning. Photographs of the space are available for anyone planning a visit.
Visitors travelling around Corfu should note that the meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries between the islands. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March, so the busiest months are the safest bet for finding everything open. Local bakeries sell spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Santorini, Crete and Paros produce local wines worth trying alongside them.
